I also tested another keyboard and Enter/Return still acts as KEYCODE_ENTER. If there's a way to map KEYCODE_ENTER, KEYCODE_DPAD_CENTER and KEYCODE_BUTTON_A all to the Enter/Return key that would be amazing and would solve the problem with some apps not accepting selection inputs!

@jason I changed the .bin to .fcfc and loaded it to my flirc. Unfortunately, the OK button still doesn't function as expected in certain apps, and in addition, the directional buttons also stopped working in a few apps. It does work well within the common apps like Youtube/Netflix though.

There is a thread on Reddit about this topic. One person wrote that he has tried the Flirc with the Nvidia Shield TV (2015) and was "plug-n-play". Would appreciate it if someone from Flirc could confirm.

Has there been any progress on this, yet? I am using a Harmony IR remote (the 650) and have the Flirc set up using the Kodi profile. I programmed the Home button in Flirc as it wasn't working correctly in Playstation Vue. All basic functions work properly now EXCEPT on some apps, like Fan TV for example, the "select/OK" button does not work yet it works in most every other place. The spouse acceptance factor is suffering!

I discovered that the Tablo app on Android TV does not respond to the typical "Back" command on the Shield TV. The "Back" button on the Shield's remote does nothing though the "B" button on the Shield game controller does work. Instead of responding to the Android Key Code "KEYCODE_BUTTON_B" the Tablo should respond to "KEYCODE_BACK". I've notified the Tablo company but does anyone have a workaround in the meantime? The family is not keen on having to use a game controller to watch television.

If the application doesn't respect USB keyboard input then there's nothing Flirc can do. You can connect some USB keyboard to your Shield TV and test if the app responds to some other keys or key combinations that Tablo interprets as a back key.

Will try. Unfortunately, from what I've read elsewhere there is no known keystroke or keyboard combination that equates to "KEYCODE_BUTTON_B". Hopefully Tablo responds with a fix as this would only be a workaround.
